soniqstylz Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Not trying to make this a PS3 / 360 debate, simply because the interview was with a PS3-centric magazine, and isn't mentioning the 360 version. I edited the title to reflect aiming away from console wars. Crysis 2: ?We Didn?t Compromise Anything [With PS3 Version]? Says CrytekCrysis 2 is about to make its debut on consoles. The original game holds the position as the best looking on any platform, and we?re yet to see a title that comes close to what Crytek has been able to accomplish. This, the second installment in the franchise uses Crytek?s latest engine: Crytek 3 game engine. Company CEO had an interview with PlayStation: The Official Magazine, and some juicy information was released that will surely quench PS3 owners thirst. PS3 Development There are many who feel that just because Crysis has been a PC franchise, and still is first and foremost, that bringing the second game to consoles would be a mistake and that said version will never be able to look even close to what PC offers. That?s not correct, says CEO Cevat Yerli, who told the mag that PS3 development of Crysis 2 is happening simultaneously with the PC version and nothing is compromised. ?I don?t feel we?ve compromised anything,? he said. In the past however, at E3 2009, the company told IGN ?We don?t need to dumb down the game; the technology provides all the horsepower we need to make a kick-ass 360 game and a kick-ass PS3 game, and push the PC gaming forward still,? this according to Crytek CEO Yerli. The question, will the 360 version be a port from PS3, or is it also being development simultaneously with the PC?s? We?ll have to wait and see. Also, as in so many movies and even video games, New York has constantly been the epicenter of world chaos ? essentially the world will crumble if New York?s destroyed. In Crysis 2, you?re on call, aliens have invaded and you must prevent an all out overtake. ?New York City stands out as the pride of mankind,? CEO Cevat Yerli said, ?if aliens can harm New York, they can harm all of Earth. According to the developer, the game looks so good that New York, even after its been invaded by aliens is beautiful, ?catastrophic beauty? to be exact. In Crysis 2, everything comes alive, in fact the world ?is living without you? says producer Nathan Camarillo. ?You can look at the city and see its plot elements. You have to build a story in the alloted space.? I?ve said it before and I?ll say it again, Crysis 2 is shaping to give even the most ingrained shooters (Call of Duty, Killzone, and BBC franchises) a big challenge, and I suspect might beat them all in the graphics department. The game will be in in Q4 2010. http://www.gamesthirst.com/2010/02/13/crysis-2-we-didnt-compromise-anything-with-ps3-version-says-crytek/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Of course it will beat them all in the graphics department, heck not even CoD6 still doesn't look as good as Crysis: Warhead. Let's just hope they made some improvements in the game play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted February 13, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2010 I think when PC gamers screem "dumbed down console ports" they mean more in the line of gameplay and control and not graphics. I suppose you could toss graphics into the mix and say that igame x will look even better on the PC, but will it? That's all up to the developer in the end, and when they work on games at the same time for all 3 systems they'll look the same, it's only when the dev does the ps3/360 first then works on the PC version for a few more months does it come out better in looks as well, IMO anyways.

A high-end PC will always produce better visuals than a console for the same game. And that's true with Crysis 2. Game developers are limited by the console's hardware which was locked in before it even went into mass production. I'm pretty sure Crysis 2 will be the best looking console game; however, it'll look even better on a well-equipped PC. I just hope it runs well (on all platforms).
